History

NLS was founded in 1993 by Irene Heim and Angelika Kratzer, who served as its first editors-in-chief. It was founded in order to provide a venue for research that integrates formal semantics with other branches of linguistics, in contrast to previously established journals that emphasized connections to logic and philosophy of language.[2][3]

Reception

NLS grew to be the central venue for the then-emerging study of crosslinguistic variation and typology within formal semantics.[4] The journal played a crucial role in establishing formal semantics as a core area within theoretical linguistics.[2][3]

According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2022 impact factor of 1.1.[5]
